More than 10,000 people will take part in the parade down Oxford and Flinders streets, with a further 100,000 people lining the streets to cheer on the 185 participating floats.
Created by designer Genevieve Blanchett, the entry features a giant inflatable map of Australia, dancing brides and grooms, disco lights and rainbow flags.
2017 marks the 39th year of Sydney Mardi Gras, which was born out of political action in the LGBTIQ community, and continues to raise awareness, highlight important issues and lobby for change.
SBS will be streaming the 2017 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade live on Saturday, March 4 on SBS On Demand, and will then air our Mardi Gras special event - with commentary from our hosts, behind-the-scenes action and exclusive interviews - on Sunday March 5. In the meantime, you can keep up with all our Mardi Gras content here.
